The fourth of the Variotrams for Tramlink arrived at Therapia Lane Depot on Thursday 26th April at 2100 before being unloaded the following morning. The arrival of 2557 means that there are just two of the initial six tram order still to arrive in the UK with the first two, 2554 and 2555, having already been used in passenger service. It is still expected that a new Line 4 from Therapia Lane to Elmers End will be introduced in June.
